This is from a Debian bug filed b Philip Stadermann
.  Can any mod_python users verify
the patch?

==========================================================================

I'm using quixote with mod_python. When I access a script with an error
I get the following response:


Mod_python error: "PythonHandler quixote.mod_python_handler"

Traceback (most recent call last):

I couldn't find a log_error method for the request object in the mod_python
documentation. The following patch fixes the error for me:

__apache_request isn't used anywhere else, so it can probably removed
completely.
